AAshima's Boutique

Ruby Taneja Dressmaker
While in Dubai, Sayeed Sheik gave me some material to make an Indian dress.

Where else would I have it sewed up, except in India. Who do I ask? Jyoti works at the office so she was the lucky one. I was lucky that she had a very good seamstress "Ruby Taneja" at the Aashima's Boutique, 6 Satellite Shopping Center Nr Mansi Complex, Vasrapur. Her shop was full of exclusive dress materials, and alot of them. Jyoti and I jumped in a rickshaw (she wasn't sure that I would enjoy her 2 wheeler) and she took me by her flat and gave me some turquoise and some yellow material to make a couple of more dresses. So I decided that I didn't need 3 dresses, so I have made the yellow for my daughter (we will see which daughter or grand-daughter it fits). It took about 3 weeks to complete.

The day before I was to pick up my dress, Sunny came over and invited us to an Indian wedding on the 23rd & 24th of February. I have somewhere to wear my "Emerald Green Indian Dress". Now I need shoes, necklace, earrings, bangles (bracelets) and my hair done. The wedding starts on the morning of the 23rd at a church, full Indian dress and then the 24th is a parade with elephants, camels to the reception and dance. Sunny said we were going to dance. I said "That will be good, because we couldn't dance before". (LOL)
